Yesterday our team member changed two lines in the ssh_config file because it was impossible to get up to go to the bathroom without the ssh tunnel breaking. Now, git can’t pull anything to the machine from our repo. Here is the error we’re getting (git was working fine the day before yesterday):

Is there actually something wrong with these values, or could someone have changed something else? I ask that because I don’t see how those two configuration options could cause this, and I haven’t found any remotely relevant solutions from Google.

Compare man ssh_config vs man sshd_config. ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax are server options, not client options, which is why you are seeing that error. Your ssh client configuration is invalid, causing the client to exit.
